Abstract excerpt
p53 is a tumor suppressor protein that induces apoptosis at least in part through its ability to act as a sequence-specific transactivator. This work reports that intron 1 of the mouse Fas death receptor gene contains a p53-responsive element (p53RE) that matches the p53 consensus sequence and that is located between nucleotides +1704 and +1723 from the transcription initiation site. This element is specifically...
